OrthoXel
Location: Cork
OrthoXel Limited is an emerging medical device startup company founded in 2014 to develop and commercialise orthopaedic trauma products.
The first technology that OrthoXel will commercialise is a novel intramedullary nail for treatment of tibia and femoral fractures (Apex Nailing system ). The basic R&D and proof of principle was completed in Cork Institute of Technology’s MEDIC centre over a 5 year timeframe.
That development program included iterative design-build-test activities such as bench testing, cadaver studies, and a GLP-controlled preclinical study. The output from the development program is patent-protected for tibial, femoral, and humeral use.
OrthoXel will bring the Apex Tibial Nailing system through regulatory approval to market in 2016, followed by the Apex Femoral Nailing system.
